Abstract

Selenium-mediated on water oxidation of arylamines with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is reported. Nitroarenes or azoxyarenes are selectively achieved by switching the selenium catalyst. Mechanistic analysis and <sup>77</sup>Se NMR studies highlighted the key role of Se(<sc>iv</sc>) species.
